“Fight all the way in…”

Countess Xia Qiu’s words left Bu Fang speechless. He had not expected that she would put forward such an unrealistic suggestion.

If he had known that her method was to fight all the way in, he would not have gone through so much hassle. Why did he even need to cook the tea egg to conquer her? He would have chosen to fight all the way in long ago.

Although Bu Fang was a chef, he had a fiery heart. Since his debut, he had been fighting and had never stopped.

“No… Fighting all the way in is not that easy.” Countess Xia Qiu seemed to have guessed what Bu Fang was thinking. She held up a finger and waved it before her face.

“It’s not that easy to fight all the way from District C to District B. First of all, you need a qualification to fight, and I can provide that to you,” she said.

Bu Fang nodded to show that he was listening.

“You know the ring-shaped fighting pit, I suppose? That’s your entrance into District B,” said Countess Xia Qiu. “Void City is very big, and it is divided into Districts A, B, C, and D. I won’t talk about District D since there’s nothing to say about that place… but the other three districts are different.

“All the three districts are very prosperous. Although they are similar, they also have differences. They are all under the control of Her Majesty, but Her Majesty usually does not show up. After all, she is the Queen of Curses. Therefore, these districts are managed by people with different titles.

“District A is under the jurisdiction of dukes. The noblewoman you saw at the Cursed Goddess’s side is one of the three dukes in District A and one of the supporters of the Cursed Goddess you seek. She is the Duchess of Yunlan.

“Marquises have jurisdiction over District B. There are three of them as well. And the ones who manage District C are counts. I think you already know this, so I won’t explain further…”

“Hmm? What’s all this got to do with me fighting all the way in?” Bu Fang asked, puzzled.

“Void City looks peaceful, but beneath the surface, the undercurrents are fierce. Every year, there will be candidates for titles in District A competing with each other. Those who fail will be relegated to the lower district, while those who win can move to the higher district.

“You’re in District C. I can give you the qualification to join the contest for titles. As for whether you can emerge among others or not, that is entirely up to you,” Countess Xia Qiu said with a smile.

The rules were not complicated, so Bu Fang quickly figured them out. It was the same thing as natural selection.

There were nobles in each district, and these nobles competed with each other for the titles of each district. If Bu Fang wanted to make it to District B, he would have to win the title contest.

“Well, that’s the end of our conversation. I’ll help you get the qualification for the competition. Go to the fighting pit early tomorrow morning and wait there…” Countess Xia Qiu’s expression turned cold and looked like she did not want to say more. She waved her hand and then disappeared.

The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the spot where she had disappeared. He felt that this woman was somewhat less reliable.

With Countess Xia Qiu gone, he turned to look at Whitey and the others. Foxy was sitting on its head and giggling. As for Shrimpy, it was still spitting bubbles.

Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed. It raised its huge hand and pointed at the turkey it had pinned to the ground, as if asking Bu Fang something. The turkey was shivering.

“Whitey, you want to eat this turkey?” Bu Fang froze for a moment.

Whitey scratched the back of its head.

Bu Fang smiled faintly. He unleashed the Law of Time, tied up the turkey, and threw it into the Heaven and Earth Farmland. He knew Niu Hansan would love this turkey.

…

In the depths of Countess Xia Qiu’s residence

At this moment, her heart was throbbing. The feeling made her shiver, as if her body and mind were enveloped by a fear that came from the depths of her blood.

She walked with long strides and soon came into the great hall. All the servants and maidservants here stood still as if time had frozen. When she looked up at the far end of the hall, she saw a woman in a plain gown standing on the main seat with her back to her.

As soon as she saw the figure, Countess Xia Qiu shuddered. The next moment, she was on her knees.

“Your… Your Majesty…”

The woman did not turn around, but the overwhelming pressure emanating from her made Xia Qiu tremble.

‘I’m finished…’

She thought she could keep the Queen in the dark. It turned out that nothing could be hidden from her. With the Queen’s strength, nothing could escape her perception. Xia Qiu felt that she was only one step away from death.
